Me: (waves) hello all out there, for the one review of the last chapter I just received, I was debating to make it a lemon but (blushes weakly) I felt strange already and couldn't force myself to do such... I'll try to get better though.
Ty: (cocks head) Lemon?
Zuranna: (grins) you don't want to know.
Ty: Why is it something you want to eat?
Me: (sweatdrops) uh... moving on, enjoy!
-----------------------
Red eyes peered up at the clear night sky seeing the full moon just beginning to rise. Seras standing there upon the big Ben clock tower, was cloaked by the deep shadows as her eyes scanned the city of London below. The girl no longer wore any innocence on her features, in replacement darkness rested as well as the lack of fear or dread. Having awoken near five minuets ago, Seras was all alone on top of the giant four faced clock tower. Seras slowly ran her tongue over her lips, she could feel it, smell the oncoming war. It was to happen this night, she couldn't explain how she knew this, but it was there. Though the girl didn't care of the war at that given moment. With eyes scanning still as if a gargoyle herself, Seras was seeking out only a single figure in red, she did not want to lose sight of him again.
"you beckoned dear Seras?" hearing the wickedly dancing voice to her left, Seras blinking, smirked as she glanced sideways to the very man she was seeking from her high perch. "Where's Zuranna and Donovan?" Seras murmured as she looked forward once more. Hearing his coat shift and felt his form move, Seras just smiled forward as Alucard drew to her left side like a ominous shadow. "Bickering below, Donovan does not want Zuranna to fight." Chuckled the vampire beside her. Seras furrowed her eyebrows as she peered straight ahead. "Why?" was her simple question. Alucard grinning chuckled slowly "did your little friend not inform you of her condition?" he sneered. That made Seras look at him, her red eyes fully questioning causing his grin to broaden as his gaze was kept upon the cit y below. "Our American undead queen is expecting." Alucard chuckled.
Seras just gaped at him, "Expecting... as in pregnant... how, Donovan was just awoken yesterday right! And I thought vampires were unfertile!" she cried. Alucard grinning, narrowed his eyes as he watched a ambulance race by in the many streets far below. "those two conceived before they had been separated, and being unfertile is the truth to the lesser vampires, but we dear Seras, are true undead and there fore are capable of breeding." Chuckled Alucard as he slowly rested his gaze onto her own as she for no real reason, blushed.
Blinking though, Seras looked at Alucard "Hold it... they... conceived... but that was near five hundred years ago..." she spoke. His grin merely broadened baring his fangs as he chuckling, looked forward once more. "our bodies are different then humans, once conceived, a female vampire can decide to halt the pregnancy and restart it at any time, that is what the American did." He spoke with amusement in his dark words. "halt... then, she can still fight right... she can hold it off a bit longer?" Seras asked, her dark demeanor faltering to her curiosity and bewilderment of this news was overwhelming. Alucard grinned even more "to an extent, but with the very man who planted the seed inside her once more beside her... she can only hold it off for another year." He spoke with his words sliding out onto the cool breeze that blew by making a few strands of both ebony and blond hair lift up from the two vampires.
Seras continued to look at the man before her. "another year... but she can still fight..." the girl murmured weakly as Alucard glanced down at her once more with a cruel grin both within the deep red pools of his gaze, to his very lips. "another thing of us true undead, a unborn undead life, even if she can hold off her pregnancy, that particular seed is still within and can be damaged and or lost, it may not seem much to a human, but for us undead, we all feel it when something so pure is lost..." Seras froze up as Alucard turning, fully faced her form and lowering his upper body, rested his face a mere few inches from her own. It wasn't his movement that bothered Seras, it was his face, his eyes. He held a small dark smile on his lips but no cruelness was hidden within, and his eyes held a very deep emotion she could not pinpoint. "... we can feel it's loss, even those of lower ranks will feel it and curl up to weep; and the same thing happens when a true undead is slain, the new life and death of our kind is respected to us all, even to those who wish to deny it." His voice was deep and dark, but his cruelness was no where to be seen within the words he spoke.
Seras blinking, suddenly understood and sighing weakly looked at him with shy eyes. "You've.. felt such a thing before..." she murmured. He smiled a bit crooked as something flashed in his red eyes. "Yes... when you've been alive as long as I, you feel these things more then you care to wish... so..." drawing even closer, with his ebony hair brushing over her face, the vampire rested his lips not even a centimeter from her right ear. "...try to not get killed." Seras gave a small cry as she felt his fangs nip gently on her earlobe sending chills down her back. Chuckling deeply letting his breath slip past her neck, Alucard rose up once more and grinning cruelly, looked out at the city.
Seras watching him weakly, looked out herself yet froze as she saw them. to the far right of the city roared a near good fifty black helicopters as the streets below, many vehicles of near all military assortments followed the choppers into a already full out battle of the Vatican land and air forces. Explosions roared, flames plumed with smoke bellowing all around. Alucard narrowed his gaze as he withdrawing his shades from his left coat pocket, slipped them onto his face as his hat appeared from the very air onto his head. "the wolves are finally going out against the Vatican, war has come, and on such a beautiful night... are you ready Seras?" chuckled the vampire king as he took in a deep breath, breathing in the scent of this war.
Seras watching the explosions erupt far off, she sighed weakly. "I will fight, and that's that!" Seras jumped as Zuranna phasing through the wall to Seras's right, crossed her stiff arms over her front as her nose held in the air bore a look of defiance as Donovan growling phased beside her, the two clearly unaware of Alucard nor Seras nearby. "No you will not, I will not risk having the little one killed!" Donovan growled, his golden red eyes ablaze yet his voice even with anger still bore the tone of true affection.
Zuranna growling, peered forward at the battle to the far right. "They need our help, I wish to fight Donovan, and you cannot stop me!" she yelled snapping her eyes onto his own. Donovan cracking his clenched fists tightly, looked at her. "do not forget who your master was, the one who gave you eternal life!" he growled. Zuranna yelling swung around to fully face him, her very form livid with rage. "Just because your 'seed' is inside of me, I will NOT hand my freedom to you, I will fight!" she yelled. Donovan yelling in anger, looked at her "It's not just the damn seed Zuranna!" that made the queen freeze up. Donovan seeing this sighed weakly and rubbed his eyes, "I... don't wish... for you to... risk being captured again.. with that other me running around... please..."
Seras blinking, was very startled by the entire sight, and even more so as Donovan's last words held a plea inside. He was begging for the safety for his queen, his love more so then the seed inside of her body. 'they... really love each other...' Seras thought weakly with a small sigh left her chest as she saw Zuranna suddenly embrace Donovan tightly. The apologies on their very forms as they clutched each other with no true sign of letting go. "they've been with each other for near thousand years, he met her ten years after being changed by the very darkness." Seras jumped as the dark voice of Alucard seemed to reverberate throughout her entire body. Weakly looking over, Seras met her former master's eyes that were hidden behind his orange shades.
His grin curling into a wicked smirk, Alucard taking his eyes from Seras, looked forward at the two American undead royals. "Donovan... let the two queens come, they can handle themselves when together, but that war will not end without us." Donovan stilling holding onto Zuranna, glanced over to Alucard and with a faint glance to Seras, smiled a bit crookedly "So... if they don't make it... I will personally kill you..." turning all attention to Zuranna, he nipped the nape of her neck gently. "Be safe..." and with that the man's body broke up into many black winged bodies mixing in already with those of Alucard.
-----
Zuranna watching them with soft red eyes, smiled as her hand timidly rested on the already mending bite from Donovan, yet... blinking, the American undead queen glanced over as she saw a very pale and wide eyed Seras who just seemed, in shock? Zuranna sighing drew over to the young woman before her gaining Seras's wide gaze. "Seras, what is wrong... it looks like you've seen a ghost." She murmured. Seras swallowing weakly felt the weight upon her chest press down hard as she looked at her friend. "Did you hear... Alucard... he..." Seras groaning, shook her head as she shut her eyes tightly. Zuranna watching her, smiled gently. "Like what, 'queens'?" Seras snapped her gaze to Zuranna's as the woman smiled "what... does it surprise you you've gained such a title, or rather, he's finally chosen his new queen and will consummate the decision." The woman spoke with a lazy shrug. Seras though looked weakly at her hands, she wasn't physically, but she felt as if her very heart was trembling.
Blinking, the girl looked at Zuranna "wait... what do you mean by consummate.." She whispered. Zuranna looking at Seras, gave her a coy smile "now that would be telling wouldn't it... besides, I have no clue what his plans are, but now... shall we go join the fight?" Zuranna asked as she stepped slowly onto the edge of the tower as the one of four clock faces hung below. Seras swallowing weakly understood now wasn't the best time to think of Alucard's words and had to pay full attention to this war. With a short breath leaving her lungs, Seras also stepped to the tower's edge and flared her arms ever so slight with her power being drawn forth from within.
Zuranna with a single eyebrow raised, smirked slightly. "Seras, may I ask what you're doing?" Seras glancing over surprised by Zuranna's words, gave a weak cry and arms flailing forth, grabbed for the nearest that two bats having pulled free from her chest and slammed them hard back into her body. Blushing faintly, the girl weakly looked at Zuranna as her arms blindly reached forth for the other remaining five bats that chattered loudly "uh.. we're... not going bat?" she near whispered as she felt very embarrassed. Zuranna chuckling, shook her head and peered forth at the city below. "No... we're not... that's to simple, they'd be expecting that... so..." with her face still held forward, Zuranna turned her eyes to the side and peered at Seras as a crooked smirk slithered onto her lips. "We'll be arriving in style..." moving her eyes once more to the city, Zuranna chuckled "Get on my back Seras...it's best youmove fast." She spoke. Seras blinking, nodded weakly as she grabbing the last five happily chattering bats, stuffed them back into her very body and ran over to Zuranna.
The American chuckled as Seras timidly leapt onto her back and curled her legs around the woman's middle and hands onto her shoulders. "so uh... why am I... on... oh no... Zuranna... no, please... no... Zuranna!" Seras screamed as the woman hunching down, launched them both hard from the tower's edge and into the night air. Seras wailed loudly yet with wide eyes felt and saw Zuranna's body grind, crack and change... clothing melting into flesh as soft as snake scales, nails extended into savage claws as her body grew in mass... Seras giving a strangled cry found herself clinging to the very large back of a giant black dragon as long as near ten buses and towered over seven stories if not taller. With a slender yet well built form, and the only other color from black was the metallic silver underbelly, claws and teeth. Zuranna's dragon familiar had the long slender muzzle that look much like a lizard as black horns jetted from the back of her head and four and a half feet long spines rising from the back of her neck down to the tip of her tail. The dragon familiar was indeed savage looking but bore a odd feminine feel to all those below who saw with wide spread panic.
Unfurling her black bat like wings, Zuranna's eight blazing red eyes bore a look of enjoyment as the wind catching under her wings, pulled from her dive. Seras screamed loudly as her stomach jumped heavily from the pull, and feeling very light headed the young vampire laid her body as flat as she could go on Zuranna's back. "do not be afraid... I will not let you fall..." Zuranna's comforting words didn't seem to help soothe Seras's mind as they flew at what seemed near blinding speeds causing the ice cold win snap past with a loud whistle. Seras though recalled from who knew how long ago, a certain thing she had been told. Closing her eyes tightly, Seras felt her small mental link feebly attach itself to Zuranna's mind. "Someone once said... you and Donovan are dragon vampires... and Alucard as well as myself are something else and vampire...or something of the sort. So.. what exactly am I, or Alucard?" the girl murmured. Zuranna gave a mangled demonic laugh from her parted jaws sending blazing embers into the whipping winds.
"I know what Alucard is as well as yourself... but if you wish to know, you best ask Alucard." The dragon chuckled as far below anyone who saw either stood in amazement, awe, or fled in true terror. Seras weakly groaning, closed her watering eyes from the icy winds. "Yeah but... what is so different from other vampires... I understand you two being dragons, but I have yet to see Alucard be something other then just a vampire!" Seras spoke as she flinched from her hands being cut up on the sharp edges of Zuranna's scales. Feeling Zuranna's body expand beneath her form, Seras heard the dragon sigh deeply pressing out all the air from her lungs and causing tendrils of black smoke rise from her parted jaws. "Seras... he's the first of us all, and what he truly is will be shown in due time, and you will learn to do the same also in due time being his chosen queen... but please stop bantering me with questions.. we are nearing the battle." Seras forcing her teary eyes open, looked past Zuranna's neck and gaped.
Far below, buildings roared in flames, helicopters, jets and other foreign air force units were in their own airborne battles as down below, be it on foot or in some sort of land vehicle, both Vatican soldiers and wolves were battling it all out. The scent of blood and gun powder filled both their lungs. "Hang on.. I'm going in..." Seras cried out loudly as Zuranna parting her jaws, unleashed a violent roar sending most of the Vatican men to their knees just to be cut down by the wolves. Banking hard to the left, Zuranna began to descend like a very demon from hell to humans and ally to the wolves. Seras sighing weakly saw all around and narrowed her eyes as her heart began to grow hard, this was a time for war.
